The Backside of God is an experimental documentary that explores the life and death of the filmmaker's late uncle, Doug Seidel. Doug was a devout Christian and pastor from rural Pennsylvania. The film ruminates on the intersection of familial, religious, and queer identity. The piece centers on the tensions between the artist’s queer identity and Uncle’s rejection of his. Can you love someone who ultimately believes your existence is immoral?
